About Beni Suef

There is a governorate called Beni Suef in Egypt. Beni Suef is the capital city of this governorate. People who live in Beni Suef go to Beni Suef University there. The city is a major agricultural trade centre on the west bank of the Nile River. It is about 110 km (70 miles) south of Cairo. The name of the town today is a mix-up of its original name, Manfiswayh, which comes from a Coptic name for a place. It was home to the city of Heracleopolis for a long time, from the early Pharaonic era to the Roman era. It was also the capital of Lower and Middle Egypt during the 9th and 10th dynasties. The modern city came to be known in the Middle Ages, when it was known for making linen. This still happens today through the city's carpet and cotton spinning industries, which are still going strong today. Muhammad Ali made Beni Suef the main town in the second province of Upper Egypt in the 19th Century, when he was in charge of the country at the time.
